1968 Map of Louisville

About this map

Fort Loudoun Lake dominates the landscape south of Knoxville, where the river's winding bends like Jackson Bend and Toole Bend carve through the border of Knox and Blount counties. The town of Louisville serves as a central hub, flanked by its local institutions including the Louisville School and Louisville Cemetery. The map captures a mix of established community centers and industrial footprints, from the bustling McGhee Tyson Airport to the quieter corridors of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. Small settlements such as Miser Station, Arline, and Middle Settlement offer significant detail for genealogists, particularly with several family-named burial grounds like Cox Cemetery and Russell Cemetery noted. Along the southern ridges, the presence of Mahoney Mill and several community churches like Beech Grove Church highlight the rural social structure that persisted even as aviation and suburban growth began to reshape the Tennessee Valley.
